Archives for the Month of February, 2011

Yesterday, we decided to join our friends on their yearly visit to the local farm for u-pick strawberries. I think I can safely declare that it is indeed Spring, even if the calendar says otherwise. It was a glorious day with temperatures is the mid 70’s! (Northern friends, you won’t be hating me so much […]

Here’s our winter nature table once again. Even though some days it doesn’t feel like winter, it at least looks like winter on our nature table. I got the idea for the tree from Made by Joel. I really miss naked trees down here in Florida. Wheatgrass and quartz crystal. Handmade tomten. I absolutely love […]

Today I am feeling a bit under the weather. We’ve had the ickies for the last week and I’m feeling like it can move along any day now. You hear that? Any day now. I’m slowing down as much as a stay at home homeschooling mama can. Trying to get enough sleep and rest. I […]

The Girl just turned three last month. How did that happen?! Three? Really?! We had a simple and sweet party at home. She invited two girl friends and the rest of us were family. Here is the fairy set I made for her. They are so cute, I could nearly explode. And the boy fairy! […]

Lately I’ve been feeling like my little corner of the interwebs has been getting pretty heavy. Too serious. I love that I can come to this space and let it all hang out, so to speak. To get my thoughts out of my head and speak my peace. But my original intention here was to […]

About

My name is Rose. I am a stitcher, painter, knitter, spinner, quilter, cook, homeschooler, and mother. I find myself saying, "I could make that," way too many times in a day. I fantasize about making every item in my house, from dishes and cups to furniture, blankets, and clothes. My loves are chocolate, mary jane shoes, and yarn shops. I have two Laughing Monkeys at home: The Boy, 9 and The Girl, 6. I share them with the love of my life, The Daddy Monkey.
